It's the 152nd day of the year, and we're celebrating St. Justin's Day. Born in Nablus around 100, Justin died in Rome in 166. Philosopher, author among others, of two "Apologies" and a "Dialogue", he was executed for not wanting to apostatize. On the weather side, temperatures are summer in the North, while the South remains covered with thunderstorms. The sun rose as it did the day before at 05:54 and sets a minute later at 21:44.
